Thanks!

Nope. The large bead or ball at the center is supported by the two rods which on the prototype would move the ball up or down depending on the water level in the tank. So, when viewed from the outside the ball indicated the depth of the water for the train crews as they approached it. The ball at the top is decorative for lack of a better term.
Cautiously optimistic, as you can see my tank is about half full as opposed to half empty.
